Hey everyone,
I'm looking to move 1000 UK pounds to my bank account.
Any tips on how to make this happen?
Is there a step-by-step guide on this forum that I can check out?
Appreciate any help and advice!
Trade your assets with an equivalent value of the amount you want to transfer to your bamke using the approved centralized exchanges in your jurisdiction, then once the vendor has made payment on your trade order, the money directly goes to your bank account because before you can push to sell it, you will be required to input your bank details.
I don't know what exchange you have there but I will advise you should do your research and follow the process in your very conducive time so that you don't do mistake and loose your funds to the wrong brokers out of ignorance.
If it's in crypto currency, all you have to do is trade it through p2p on any crypto exchange. Chose the p2p vendor you want to use, after that you release the crypto to the vendor, but before releasing your crypto assets to any vendor through p2p deals you must first of all confirm your money in you bank account before you release the coin. Before as some p2p vendors are scammers.
thanks for the comments and advice so far
I think I should explain my story
in April 2019 I somehow got contact with someone who
was trading in the coins and offered me advice
money in bank accounts back then was earning about 2 percent..
why not use some of it to trade in coins and watch your income increase
day by day
This lady was in London I believe.
I put the minimum amount on and got access to a page showing
the coins in real time either going up or down
I was assured I could nt lose because my trading was being tracked by
computer and would protect me from heavy losses etc.
soon I was introduced to another guy.... Carnegie... who was very
charming and suggested I send 2000 and then I could really trade and
see my earnings increase. He would phone me perhaps twice a week and advise
me what to buy and make trades on the exchange.
a week or two later I was passed on to another guy
I could always hear the background noise of an office, people on the phone etc
and I was tole the guy was located in south Africa
My earnings were increasing, I think I had value of 30000 at onr poinh
and by then I had sent over perhaps 15,ooo
so it was exciting.
getting into august 2019 and my total capital started to slide
soon there was 19,000 then there was less money than I had put in
Each phone call the guy usually told me to send more money to turn things
around... By sept 2019 I decided... Ive sent 24000 that's enough
I began to realize, Im going to lose a big amount, this is not going to turn
around. perhaps around aug sep 2019 there was a big decline in the price of bitcoin ?
I got less and less phone calls, I became depressed, I d blown 24,000
prob in December a guy rang to commiserate with me and told me the whole firm
was facing shutdown.
In the following years I d get a call from out of the blue telling me
there was substantial money in my bitcoin account and they could help me get access to it.
I was advised to create a skrill account which I did thinking the bit coins could be
transferred there, but then the guy wanted me to open my bank account to sent money etc
I refused, I said why cant you transfer to this skrill wallet
He did nt phone again... I kind of gave up .
This week nov 2025 a lady rang me and asked me if I wanted to unfreeze my bit coin
account. she gave me a link to a blog chain account with my name on it and a very substantial
sum in bitcoin in the account. she needs my driving licence to begin the process
of unfreezing my account.... Im 75 and last week I had to send my license to
Swansea to get it renewed... as chance would have it
I have a passport but its way out of date.
so that's where I am right now... I have her e mail addy and when the license finally
gets returned to me I can send her an e mail...
But am I on a wild goose chase ? do I really own bitcoin... more than one... which are
currently worth 80000 or so ?
Is this lady part of a scam? If that large sum is there in my name
I could transfer a couple of thousand and leave the rest in bit coin to rise or fall with the market.
would be glad to hear a few opinions or comments on my situation
from some of you guys who know a lot about the bitcoin world .
It seems you already invested your money into a scam platform. Anyone calling you and wants to help you out are doing that in order to find a way to still milk you off some more amount of money in your possession. You made a mistake sending money to someone to help trade for you, it would have been better you bought bitcoin and saved in your wallet, by now, you would have been in possession of your bitcoin and would also have grown very well.
It doesnt look like you will get those money back since the company also already shut down. Your data is probably out there exposed and thats why youre receiving phone calls from different people to want to help you get your funds out but practically theyre looking for ways to steal from you again. Thats a red flag and you should desist from paying attention to them.
100% a scam mate, i am sorry, everything is smoke and mirrors. You don't own any bitcoin, they have just been leading you on and stealing from you. This is a very large ring of scammers involved in this investment scam and unlucky for you, you fell victim to them.
Stop every communication you have with them. Too bad they already have your phone number and other private data, so i am sure they would try to lure you in again from time to time, and would also attack you through phishing links and all. Protect yourself and don't fall victim again. Take your losses and learn from it.
One last thing, stop writing in colored text, it is weird and makes your post hard to read. Good Luck mate.
You can cash out thru exchangers, whether they are local exchangers in the UK or international exchangers like Binance. This is because Binance has a P2P system where you can sell your balance to other members as long as the currency is in British pounds on Binance. If you want to cash out in British pounds, the best way is thru local exchangers in your country, which means local exchangers in the UK. Of course, you are more familiar with local exchangers in the UK since you live there.
Not your keys, not your coins, it seems you have fallen into a trap that will make you lose everything. There is no free lunch, have you ever thought about the reason behind strangers guiding you without any particular intention.?
You've been scammed, but you didn't realize it at first. You should have researched or consulted someone who understands crypto before entrusting your money to anyone. If the company is closed, you have to say goodbye to your money.
Op I don't think if this forum owes the best response to your expressions about it the lady and whosoever inclined asking you to invest.snd trade in bitcoin is genuine or not, but what I can only say is that it is risky trusting a third party with your funds especially when you don't have your private keys with you. Also note that there is no shortcut to be rich whether in investment or treading because it is very risky predicting the price and while long term holding may be less risky, your patient or paranoid psychology has to be controlled so that you don't get drive with Fomo or getting panic over the short term volatilities.
I am Saying this so that you can figure it out yourself that not all that glitters are gold and those resources that teams, agents and developers paints to be too good and attractive are usually not to be trusted.
You have been paying money to this anonymous people calling you on the phone and sending emails for over 2019 and yet you don't know if it is a scam or not. Well, I will suggest you to forth with the withdrawal of your bitcoin to your bank account, there you will know if these people are scammers or not. Then will determine if you have a real bitcoin or dealing with the right people or not.
Hopefully, before you conduct a transaction, dude, be careful, because don't you know there are many scammers nowadays who are finding ways to locate victims? And if you're going to transfer
to an exchange, you should first check the background of the exchange you're planning to use.
So it's better to use top exchanges that have P2P merchants, so you can properly transfer your funds to the exchange don't use exchanges that aren't well-known
in the cryptocurrency business field.
Is this the first time you are trading or are you just looking for alternative ways? Also you stated you want to transfer UK pounds to your bank, does that mean you want to convert UK pound to any other fiat like dollar, etc or just want to buy bitcoins? Your post is somewhere incomplete and it will only arise suspicion if you really want to make a trade or are looking for someone here who can blindly trust you so you can scam them? I would suggest you to add more context and try to write detailed information here.
If you want to sell bitcoins to fiat (I considered that reading the subject), you can try some P2P sites where you can find local dealers and you can instantly cash out. You can watch platforms like Kucoin as they also do offer few training sessions about how to use the feature to convert bitcoins into cash.
YES
I expected to hear this because scammers never gives up on their victim if you are doing their bidding. They have seen you as their cash cow breeding alot of meat for them and that's the reason for coming back again. Be wise.
This lady is mostly likely and very likely part of them. They are coming with another trick.
If there is anything like recovery in such case it most be from government office and you must be invited physically. Anything online for the recovery is the continuation of the scam. They see you have money to throw around. This is most likely a scam. Be careful.
I am not even sure if OP wants to genuinely make a trade or is just inventing a new method to scam people. It is very difficult to trust anyone online as there are hundreds of scams going on and it is really difficult to identify these scams as scammers are becoming more advanced and are using newer methods to rip money out of innocents.
It is always better to trade on reputed exchanges instead of find such online trades just to make a few extra bucks. The greed to make those extra bucks can make us lose everything that we have.
There always are P2P platforms which makes things way easier as the exchange acts as an intermediary and in case anything goes haywire, we can always appeal and get back the money. I would never deal off exchanges no matter how much profit I see.
Im becoming to be resigned to this lady being part of a scam
she got me on a kind of google time share that linked up our computors
could be there was a guy behind the scenes downloading stuff from my computor. ?
I was way too naive back in 2019 and I paid the price
I think anyone who decides to go into bitcoin needs to do a lot of study and research,
get a lot of advice and proceed with caution !
I'm sorry about what happened to you, but there are indeed many scammers targeting older people by promising investment opportunities, but they are all just scams... all they want is money from people who have minimal knowledge or understanding of Bitcoin.
That's why you need to be careful not to believe anything that sounds too good to be true, especially when it comes to investing in Bitcoin, because there are many scams disguised as investments. If you don't fully understand it, it's best to avoid it or seek advice from others before making a decision.
Did you read any of the posts made above? It is clear that they are all part of a scam ring. I already posted that in my earlier post in this topic. Stop communicating with the scammers and run a check on your device, i don't know what kind of links they have shared with you. You may need to format your device and reinstall your operating system.
Absolutely. And this forum helps a lot with that. Like i said earlier, it would be better for everybody if you stopped changing the color of your texts to blue, can you do that?
It appears they got a remote access to your PC. This is actually one of the common tactic by scammers. Just to err on the side of caution, do a fresh install of your OS since we don't know what's in there anymore, and no anti-virus software would be able to accurately detect everything suspicious.
Sorry for your loss OP, but from what I'm seeing, you're from UK, no? perhaps you may be able to file a neglible claim in your tax, thus reducing your obligations. Could be another way to recoup a bit.

Based on OP story looks he invested at right scam site indeed labelling with cryptocurrency, its fatal mistake when transferring money or fund to unknow person and recommended their own website for investing. I don't know how easily for OP transferring his crucial document ID to unknow person although reason have verifying account after freeze but all stories from OP made many fatal mistake. I want to get the points about what problem facing by OP right now about his fund previously already sending to unknow person or want to start trading in cryptocurrency.
If OP want moving to cryptocurrency fund to Bank you can use third party service with P2P transaction, now where your fund saving and which one exchange do you use? You can sell trough P2P and looking trusted person with good reputation when selling or buying P2P transaction and keep away from seller have low respond.
It is simple. Don't trust anyone online. Even if you know someone physically, be sure you know the person too well that you can make them pay for the wrong they will do to you before you can have such financial dealing with them. Be sure if the person cheat on you financially, there is a family friend you can run to as mediator or guarantor that will stand in for the losses or that you can arrest such person with local vigilante or police. Nothing goes for nothing so don't always believe someone is there to help you grow for free. If you don't watch your back, I'm not sure another person will leave their own back to watch yours. Don't involve money in your dealings online if there is no escrow and or recovery process.
